چکیده

In this paper, we study the impact of network latency on the time required to download a file distributed using BitTorrent. This study is essential to understand if testbeds can be used for experimental evaluation of BitTorrent. We observe that the network latency has a marginal impact on the time required to download a file; hence, BitTorrent experiments can performed on testbeds.

Experimenting with BitTorrent on a Cluster: A Good or a Bad Idea?

Evaluation of large-scale network systems and applications is usually done in one of three ways: simulations, real deployment on Internet, or on an emulated network testbed such as a cluster. Simulations can study very large systems but often abstract out many practical details, whereas real world tests are often quite small, on the order of a few hundred nodes at most, but have very realistic ...

SIMTorrent: Sensor IMage Torrent

Network Reprogramming of sensor nodes is a necessity, with the explosion in the number of individual sensors being deployed for live experiments as well as in testbeds. Personalized physical reprogramming of large number of nodes is impractical both in terms of manpower cost and the amount of time expended for such purposes. We propose a network reprogramming protocol specifically targeted at d...

Making broadband access networks transparent to researchers, developers, and users

Broadband networks are used by hundreds of millions of users to connect to the Internet today. However, most ISPs are hesitant to reveal details about their network deployments, and as a result the characteristics of broadband networks are often not known to users, developers, and researchers. In this thesis, we make progress towards mitigating this lack of transparency in broadband access netw...

A New Architecture Based on Artificial Neural Network and PSO Algorithm for Estimating Software Development Effort

Software project management has always faced challenges that have often had a great impact on the outcome of projects in future. For this, Managers of software projects always seek solutions against challenges. The implementation of unguaranteed approaches or mere personal experiences by managers does not necessarily suffice for solving the problems. Therefore, the management area of software p...
